Before Christmas is completely over I had to post these pics...

A Marks and Spencers plain round fruit cake which Little made a banner to go round, I put marzipan and icing on and then we topped with Christmas candles, again from M&S. I'm just not a fruit cake maker, or eater truth be told... but the banner has been folded carefully and will be taken home and treasured by my stepdad (this was one his Christmas presents) and made me realise ever more that it's the small things which matter and not the extravagant.

That is the most beautiful fruit cake! There is something about a child's way with drawing that is so delightful! The candles are the perfect finishing touch.Hope you had the merriest of Christmases, too Amanda!

Between this and your lovely pics on facebook I can tell you had a holly jolly Christmas!! What a splendid cake!! I love the banner that you children did for it and those candles are wonderful! How very beautiful!!

It's the little things that really make the difference, Amanda - in our case, a small truffle. Just kidding (although the truffle was really good). Hoping you and the family had a great Christmas and here's to a very happy New Year.

Kitchen Travels with Little Foodies

We're still learning about different countries around the world and their foods (mainly from our own kitchen, though if we can sneak in a few holidays to taste the real thing then we will and do). We're doing this because we want our children to be aware of other cultures and to have adventurous palates. We started with Morocco, where to next... If you have any ideas or tips that we would find useful on our culinary travels, then please do leave us a comment or e-mail me at littlefoodies (aT) gmail (DoT) com. Of course there will still be the normal ramblings... Thank you for reading.
